The SCEG supports the Government in the transparent regulation and accreditation of companies which operate in the sector, promoting professional standards and industry best practice.

Full membership of the SCEG is open to all UK-based companies active in the security sector which have signed the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers and can demonstrate their intent to deliver the requirements of the Code or an equivalent code recognised by the Executive Committee.

Who is the SCEG governed by?

The SCEG is governed by an Executive Committee made up of representatives from across the industry, from the large multinationals to smaller specialists, and from the FCO. It has a non-Executive Chairman, selected by the Executive Committee, who has a strong track record within the industry, and a part-time Director on loan from a Government agency and independent from any company within the industry.
